Hivemux

Hivemux is a cli tool allowing easy management of your tmux environments.

What Hivemux provides the following features:

• create pre-defined sessions based on projects found in your workspace
• join pre-started session if one already exists in your environment

Installation

pipx install hivemux

Configuration

Hivemux can be configured through a TOML file in $HOME/.config/hivemux/config.toml.

If you have XDG_CONFIG_HOME or XDG_CONFIG_DIRS set, Hivemux will look in these locations as described in the XDG specification.

Hivemux works well without a config file set, by default, it acts with the default values described below.

config.toml

# Path to your workspace containing all your projects
workspace_path = "~/workspace"

# Pattern to match to find all the projects in the first level of your workspace folder. Must match Python's Path.glob() definition https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.glob
workspace_markers = ["*/.git"]

# Additional search paths to add to your list of projects. The list is taken as-is and added to the project list.
additional_search_paths = []

# .hmrc file used to define how to create the session for all projects
hmrc = """
  new-session -d -c {{cwd}} -s {{session}} -n source nvim .
  new-window -c {{cwd}} -t {{session}} -n shell
  select-window -t {{session}}:source
"""

A note on hmrc

Hivemux creates TMUX sessions based on a template. By default, this template lives in the Hivemux code unless overriden by the config.toml file. This gives the ability to define a personal and custom session creator.

To override the default hmrc, the config.toml file provides a field called hmrc that will be used instead of the default hmrc script provided by Hivemux.

A hmrc file can also be created per project. For example, if your project is under $HOME/workspace/my_project, you can override the global hmrc file with a file $HOME/workspace/my_project/.hmrc

The content of the hmrc file is parsed through Jinja and therefore allows for some templating.

The following variables are passed to the template:

• session: name of the session
• cwd: absolute path of the project

After the rendering of the template is done, the content is passed directly to tmux without modifications.

The commands defined in the TMUX documentation can all be used.

What must the hmrc file contain

A hmrc script must contain the following line at the beginning.

new-session -d -c {{cwd}} -s {{session}}

This allows tmux to create the session without attaching to it, allowing Hivemux to finish its execution.

If you want, you can always add other flags to the new-session command such as -n or even a shell command.

Usage

hm --help

hm list-projects

hm attach myproject or hm a myproject
